The fgetc function

Name

fgetc -- 

Synopsis

#include <stdio.h>

int fgetc (FILE *stream );

Description

The fgetc function obtains the next character (if present) as an unsigned char converted to an int, from the input stream pointed to by stream, and advances the associated file position indicator for the stream (if defined).

Returns

The fgetc function returns the next character from the input stream pointed to by stream. If the stream is at end-of-file, the end-of-file indicator for the stream is set and fgetc returns EOF. If a read error occurs, the error indicator for the stream is set and fgetc returns EOF.

Implementation Notes

The value of stream must be stdin.
